Our first night in Rome!!!

We were exhausted from the flights but the excitement won over and we went for our night tour of the city. The first shot below is of Will reading a magazine in our hotel room up on a hill above Rome. You can see the view from our balcony of Saint Peters's Basilica on the right side and of the sounding area in Rome! It was amazing! 

The tour guide who drove us picked us up a the hotel and drove us around the city letting us get out at several points and telling us about the history or Rome. We drove around all of Rome from the thick wall that used to contain the city to the Colosseum and the Vatican. He helped orient us and told us where to shop and about the modern government building that the Romans nick named the wedding cake. He gave us advice of where to eat the Trattorrias as they are where the Romans eat. He was very nice. It was great. 

We were able to get a photo taken by our tour guild in front of the Colosseum and then we saw the Trevi Fountain which we went back to three or five more times while we walked around the city during our stay.
